One More Round: Restaurant Food at Home

006

This goes way back to last May, when I visited The Chicago Diner. At the time, I was kicking myself for choosing a quesadilla when faced with more choices from their extensive vegan menu than I could wrap my head around. Still, it was really good. And even as I said to myself that I could make it at home, I never did. Until now.

I stuffed my tortilla with smashed sweet potatoes, steamed spinach, black beans, and grilled onions. After the photo, I added some spicy salsa. Yum! I should make this again.

Have a great weekend – I’ll be around!

  3. Great strata of colors...and a cool way to use squash. Lovely pic: I feel like reaching in and trying to grab it through the monitor.

    Good weekend to you too!

  5. I finally remembered what restaurant food I recreated at home: CPK's Split Pea Soup (copycat recipe online). Wasn't as good though. You've sure eaten at some nice places!

  7. I hate it when I end up ordering something I always eat at home. That looks good, though! I've had several things with pumpkin and sweet potato this week on vacation, and I told my husband to remind me to start putting those 2 things in wraps and sandwiches etc.
